Linux Minecraft; Official Bit-tech server

Your alive? :O
Come on ts3 ^^

edit: 300th post!

 

I think i might have pyromania. Last night i've accidentally set the BT Bar on fire, tonight it was Jrr's childhood home. I shouldn't be allowed to have flint and steel.

...All repaired to the best of my abilities though!

 

maybe you should be more careful...just a thought

 

The bar was unavoidable. I didn't notice the pressure plate so i walked up to the door to press RMB... with a flint in my hand... pressure plate triggers, door opens, i torch the floor. You should have seen the panic flooding i did to contain it. I think i did a pretty good job of rebuilding it though.

 

FYI...my door has a pressure plate...

 

Noted.

 

lol but why did you even have a flint out?

i've noticed we seem to have hit a rapid seem of development again so i've take the precaution of building a 1 block high cobble wall round my area to ensure no one builds on it by accident

 

Progress is beginning to be made on my bridge, with the first draft of the bridge currently being planned out in excel (Thanks Bindi for sending me your plans as an example! ). Pic below is the side on view.

A few stats:
Length of Span : 220 blocks
Width of deck: 14 blocks
Height of main deck above sea level: 32
Height of top of bridge above sea level: 64 (ceiling limit)



and the reference pic I'm mainly using:



EDIT: I realise I haven't yet down the lower cross members between the vertical struts yet, dw they'll be there in the final version

 

eep that's huge

 

You can't build up to 64 because you need space to stand up, plus at 50 there are clouds passing through the top

Best drop it into the earth a bit.

 

For planning structures I use the Minecraft Structure Planner: http://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/dy227/minecraft_structure_planner_java_application/

This'll sum up how many blocks (as well as what type) you'll need to complete the project. as well as isometric view and a few other features.,
thought it might be useful

 

It was a sad night in BT MC yesterday;



But then Nealie miraculously resurrected!

 

and a good time was had by all. we had 11 of the 12 slots full on the server. lulz were had.

ive started construction on my new project. ill leave the details blurry for promotional reasons until it starts to take shape...but its going to be the largest structure ive built in minecraft. ive begun clearing the lot west of the casino, as its prime reality

 

It went far better than I feared when we first discovered the fire.. ..I'll be adding fire-barriers between the floors. So incase of miss-fire, it wont spread that uncontrollably.. I'm just happy that it happened this early in the build, now we know the dangers.

I kinda liked the fact that the fire spreaded out so quickly, it really shows how dangerous open flames are.. ..very realistic!

Anyhow, you've corrected the damage, the only downside was, I got at least 1 hour less sleep this night. But do you think my kids would let me sleep in.. ..oh no they didn't!

 

Hmm, in that case I might just lower the height of the parts below the deck, as atm it looks a bit too high anyway. It will make the two towers on either end a bit better proportioned (and more like the real life bridge) too

Yeh I had a look at that planner, problem is, for a structure this big, it was going to be too time consuming putting all the blocks in. Thanks anyway, I might use it for future projects

 

Just a random tip for anyone using excel: F4 repeats the last task and makes filling in coloured areas a lot quicker

most may know it but for those who don't it cant be half your working out time

 

this is totally my fault. but stickeh i need you to clear some bedrock from my castle please and thank you .that would be totally cool of you if you did please and thank you

 

Shout at me when i'm next on and we'll get it done

New carto, 7.18mb warning!

There's my tower!!

Payback is a B***ch!

I'm still surprised at how fast you buried me and put up flowers!

 

Does anyone know who built the castle with loads of torches on it? I've not seen anyone near it and I'd like to take over if possible.
